The Sun That Shined in the Dark

By Kenneth Andrew Holder Durrant

This is not only my story, its our story. This is me, 25 years on this earth. I bring to you my progress report. Embrace me with the same Love I placed into these poems. I express my situation with failure, the struggles, which we are face with each day, the challenges with Racism & Power of the Government. Through my experiences, I seek better Dayz & Workin hard to alter the ways of many people.
All I want from the people who reads my Poetry is to THINK..
Peace and Love

People I Quoted I My Poem

In the Event of My Demise

In the event of my Demise

when my heart can beat no more

I Hope I Die For A Principle

or A Belief that I had Lived 4

I will die Before My Time

Because I feel the shadow’s Depth

so much I wanted 2 accomplish

before I reached my Death

I have come 2 grips with the possibility

and wiped the last tear from My eyes

I Loved All who were Positive

In the event of my Demise

Tupac Shakur

The Mustard Seed

Least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, & becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come & lodge in the branches there of.—Matthew Chapter 13 verse 32
